I took a look just to see if your experience would help on the burl.  I think it will sit for a few years then get cut into smaller pieces for use.  When I do that I will rough plane the outsides and go for a warmer drying.

I think you said you had pieces 4 to 6 inches thick. You won't believe how well that much twisted grain can lock up water. In the meantime, your few years of air drying will be hard to control. If the outside gets too dry, that can really seal the water inside. If you have an idea of what sizes you are going to want, maybe you should rough it out now.

Sergey,

You can't stick the ends or did you break a board in half?  :D What's with those weird looking ends? That doesn't even look like wood!

I just got another picture from Parker. He was hoping that yield would be high enough for maybe two chairs. Look at this.



Was that $25K each! And he thinks he may get a third.

Beautiful work by Parker and I'm pretty happy with the old vac kiln.  8)

Thank You Sponsors!
